Sep. 11—LAMOURE, N.D. — If there are any nerves that Mason Warcken feels stepping into the starting quarterback job as only a sophomore, it hasn’t shown through the first three games of the season.
“I was a little nervous (before the season opener) but I realized that I have a lot of talent around me and there’s no way that I could mess up with all the talent around me,” Warcken said. “So it was pretty easy.”
